Hawley Still Supporting GOP Effort To Make Pre-Existing Coverage Unconstitutional

It’s been more than a week since Republicans announced their latest, stunning effort to make coverage for pre-existing conditions unconstitutional and new reports confirm this decision could impactemployer-provided coverage, as well – impacting thousands more Missourians in addition to the almost 2.5 million Missouri individuals who have pre-existing conditions. Still, Josh Hawley is supporting the GOP’s health care agenda that jeopardizes coverage for pre-existing conditions.

“After a week spent refusing to stand up for Missourians who want insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions, it’s clear Josh Hawley is once again putting his own political self-interests ahead of his state,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein. “Hawley supports the Republican agenda that jeopardizes coverage for pre-existing conditions, spikes premiums, and imposes an age tax on older Americans – so it’s no surprise he joined a lawsuit that would punish Missourians attempting to get health care.”
